Will internet replace traditional TV cable?
Looking at the new trend, it is possible as more and more network TV stations are starting to offer their programming online. It looks like in Canada you can watch most of the newscasts online already and now more and more TV shows are joining them online. CTV.ca is doing just that - they're offering full episodes of Lost, Desperate Housewives, Studio 60, and Grey's Anatomy online for free. Currently I have a PVR (DVR) which allows me to schedule and record shows which I watch regularly, so I do not have to follow the actual TV guide schedule. This allows me to watch my shows whenever I have got the time to do so. It is very convenient option for me, especially when I am overseas and not able to watch TV back home. When I return, all of the episodes are there for me waiting on my DVR to catch up on.
But now with shows being offered online I can be anywhere to watch them and do it anytime I feel I want to watch them. This is a real boon for those without a DVR to record programs when they are not home. The online shows are divided into six sections (each started with a short commercial) and they've got a nice full-screen option so you don't feel like you're watching a moving postage stamp. Will internet replace traditional TV cable? I think the trend is pointing in that direction, frankly I feel like I am spending way to much money for my cable bill already so cutting it down to Basic while watching many shows online is a very attractive option for me personally.
